Jack S's Bio

Great performance shirt for everything from hiking to biking to climbing. It breathes fairly well and the antimicrobial finish prevents you from smelling funky every time you get a sweat going. I am 5'10 and the large fit me perfect, even though I have a longer torso.

Merino wool is great for any activity that gets your heart rate up and the sweat going. This shirt breathes well to keep you cool and wicks away moisture to keep the shirt from getting soaked. The fabric is soft and comfortable to wear. My only complaint is that the sleeves are a bit on the small side so the arms are a bit tight if you do not have noodle arms.

The grape juice with grey lenses are super stylish, they are a bit darker than pictured which makes them look great on guys or girls. Like other reviews said, they are really lightweight and comfortable to wear for days.

They have covered all of the bases with this tool. I have used it to adjust every thing from my seat post to my single speed hub. The aluminum is extremely durable and the sizing seems to fit all of the parts that I have needed to repair/adjust.

This pump is the go-to for all of my air needs. It works great for both presta and schrader tubes, the seal that it has for both is impressive and efficient. The picture does not show this, but the attachment end actually twists off and stretches out with a hose to make attaching to the valve and pumping much easier. The being able to pump this off the floor also is a great feature. All of this, backed up with Blackburn's lifetime warranty makes for an awesome product.

Decided it was time to get a fun commuter without breaking the bank and so far this has been a great bike. For fun, I will flip the hub so I can ride fixed and have my bearded friends commend me. Flopping the hub is as easy a few quick wrench turns. Fairly light for a steel frame, which is good to know this will hold up to some commuting abuse.

I do not own a yacht, but I feel like I do when I am wearing these. Such a classic look, these go great with semi formal events or lounging around town. I normally wear in between a 10 and 10.5 and went with 9.5 in these because they have a little bit of stretch and the 10s and the 10.5 caused my heel to come up when I walked.

Such a great pack. Just took a 4 day trip around Zion NP and this is by far the most comfortable and stable pack I have hiked with. I was able to get all my equipment and food in there with a plenty of room. The crampon pockets will be nice when the snow flies again. One of my favorite features is the J-zipper which allows you to access from the front of the pack so you do not have to dig. It makes packing the bag a little bit easier not having to worry about what I will need first.

Really tasty, great to throw in your pack for a sweet treat. They are firm enough to not get squished but soft enough that they do not have the texture of crunchy granola bars and more of a soft cookie consistency.

I rode these boots this season and loved them. I normally wear a 10.5-11 and ordered a 10 which proved to be a perfect. I was too lazy to take them to get heat molded but it just took a weekend of riding for my foot to heat up the liner to conform to my foot. Super lightweight yet really durable. I had 60+ days and the boots still look fairly new. The STI foam is pretty cushioned when you dont stomp a landing. The flex was a good fit for riding little bit of park and steep pow.

The frames have been nice, I have sat on them as well as dropped them off the chairlift heading up mountain biking and they did not break. I like the size of the lenses to block the sun but they are not quite as scratch resistant as one would like.

I normally wear a 10.5 in most shoes and went with the eleven. Once the leather got used to my feet, they broke in like a custom fitted sandal. They really comfortable and look really stylish whether that be beachwear or backyard BBQs.

The Z/2 is a great sandal for just about everything. I love the vibram rubber for grip coming out of the water as well as short hikes in southern Utah. They are extremely comfortable but rigid so they fair well on mildly tough terrain. The straps wear well and are soft so blisters have never been a problem. I normally wear about 10.5 in most shoes and the 10s were a great fit. After adjusting the straps my feet fit perfect.

It is pretty warm and comfortable and looks great, however I did not anticipate it being so long. I have a fairly large head (7 5/8s in fitted hats) and the length at times is a bit much. The regular doyonator is a good fit if you are looking for something with less hang on the back

I bought this as a gift for my mother and she loves it. She wanted it for traveling because the messenger style sling makes getting stuff in and out of the pack really easy. Also the front clip makes taking it off with it packed easy.
